The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the arrest of two of its members by the Department of State Services (DSS).

According to Daily Post, the chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus descried the arrests as a clampdown on the opposition by the government.

Secondus said this while revealing moves made by the party to reach out to the arrested people.

He said “We have sent a delegation comprising our governors to the DG of DSS over the spate of arrests of our members.

“Yesterday, they picked up a former Governor of Benue State, Mr. Gabriel Suswam, and today, they arrested Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe. We can’t reach them and even their loyalists can’t reach them.

“Now, the clampdown has indeed started. But how many of our members are they going to arrest, just because they (the government and the ruling party) are afraid of losing the (2019 presidential) election?

“Maybe they will arrest all of us and put us into jail. Nigerians are watching and the international community is also watching.”
